The Role
Had a great experience of different projects the team become involved in and was able to work on actual cases.
I often worked with members from other areas and sometimes departments and they have always been friendly people to work with.
If there was ever a problem I felt comfortable asking questions and was given support and advice where needed.
Each day varied as it was dependent on what jobs we were involved in.
Each task I was given varied in responsibility. Towards the end of the placement I was given more responsibilty on some jobs.
I have learnt a lot from my placement from inter-personal skills to business acumen.
The Company
We were given a full induction for both the company (going to London) and the office (in Manchester) and a farewell meeting at the end of the year (held in London).
Given access to web training, regaulr update meetings and networking events.
